Definitions

  • the present invention is an electrical connector with a plug part with a sleeve for connection to a female thread having a counterpart.
  • the invention further relates to a plug part for such a plug connection and a socket part for such a plug connection.
  • Components equipped cables are connected to each other, as well as several cables can be connected with a plug part to a distributor, which in turn is equipped with a plurality of counterparts to the plug parts, depending on the embodiment.
  • the connectors in question allow a secure connection in the area of the connection points, since the plug part on the one hand and the counterpart on the other hand are secured together via a thread-like connection.
  • the connector parts are carrying an external thread
  • plug-in parts-and corresponding counterparts-of plug-in connections have been created, which facilitate the insertion of the plug-part-side sleeve into allow the counterpart by simply pushing and allow the end of the assembly process by a slight rotation a final and axial securing between the two components.
  • the present invention has for its object to further develop the connector and its male or female part such that a particularly simple and fast connection is realized at low production costs.
  • the invention first realizes an electrical plug connection with a plug part having a sleeve for connection to a counterpart having an internal thread counterpart, wherein the sleeve at its engaging in the counterpart outer peripheral area with at least one deflectable, preferably resiliently deflectable and formed in the manner of a part of an external thread turn Projection is equipped.
  • the counterpart is equipped in its sleeve receiving inner peripheral region with at least one deflectable, preferably resiliently deflectable and forming a part of a female thread projection.
  • the sleeve is provided with an external thread for connection to the counterpart.
  • the invention then also provides a plug-in part for an electrical plug-in connection of the type according to the invention, in which the sleeve is provided with at least one deflectable, preferably resiliently deflectable and formed in the manner of a part of an external thread projection at its engaging in the counterpart outer peripheral region and a socket part or counterpart, which is equipped in its sleeve receiving inner peripheral region with at least one deflectable, preferably resiliently deflectable and forming a part of a female thread projection
  • plug part and socket part refer not only to the electrical contacts but in particular to the screw with external thread (plug part) and internal thread (socket part).
  • the invention thus according to its variant provides a plug part with a simple and inexpensive to produce sleeve for quick and easy connection to a counterpart, the counterpart of the general industry standard (eg to the standard "M”, eg "M12" or “M8” or
  • the female part is provided with an internal thread in a manner known per se, and this embodiment is particularly preferred.
  • the socket part has the projections - and thus no common internal thread.
  • the plug part is provided in this case according to a conventional manner with an external thread.
  • An inventive plug part with the shaped sleeve can be easily inserted into an internally threaded counterpart in the axial direction, since the projection or the projections can overcome the threads of the internal thread by their resilience, but at the same time engage in each male state in a thread of the internal thread. After the axial insertion of the sleeve, this can still be slightly rotated in the sense of a screw to fix a final mounting position. The rotation required for this is relatively small, so that corresponding connectors are extremely fast and safe to install, even in poorly accessible installation situations and relatively dense arrangement of the connections.
  • the sleeve can be made easily and inexpensively since it is only necessary to form at least one projection forming a part of an external thread on the sleeve.
  • the sleeve is produced as a stamped and bent part from sheet metal.
  • the plug part can also be fixed to a housing, e.g. a distributor installed.
  • the female part or counterpart is attached to the fixed plug part, which may have a conventional internal thread. Also in this variant, all the advantages mentioned above are realized.
  • the male or female part can be designed for mounting on a housing or for connection to a cable.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a plug connection with a plug part according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a schematically illustrated section along the line II - II in
  • FIG. 1 A first figure.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b 4b different perspective views of the plug part of the connector
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the sleeve of the plug part according to Figures 4a and 4b
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of a material portion from which the
  • FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the partially deformed material section according to FIG. 6
  • FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a sleeve for a plug part according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 9 is a schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • a total of a connector is referred to, which comprises a plug part 2 and a herewith axially mating counterpart 3 (a socket part), which are equipped in a known manner with corresponding first and second contacts 2a, 3a, the here eg as pins 2a and corresponding sockets 3 a are formed.
  • the plug part 2 has a preferably consisting of an insulating cylindrical inner body 13 with the first contacts 2a and the female part or counterpart 3 also consists of an insulating inner body 14, with the second contacts 3a, in which case the inner body of the female part 3 in his axial end portion in the inner body of the connector part 2 can be inserted.
  • the plug part is equipped with a rotatable relative to the inner plug portion 3b sleeve 4, which serves to establish a connection between the plug part 2 and the counterpart 3.
  • the counterpart 3 in the region of an outer sleeve 15 is provided with an internal thread 5 (see Figure 3) and the sleeve 4 of the plug part 2 is in its engaging in the counterpart 3 outer peripheral region with at least one radially outwardly deflectable and part of an external thread - Ganges forming projection 6 equipped, with this projection 6 or more of such projections 6 in a thread of the internal thread 5 of the counterpart 3 is supported or supported.
  • FIGS. 4 a and 4 b and 5 clearly show, the sleeve 4 is equipped with a total of three projections 6 in its outer circumferential region engaging in the counterpart 3.
  • These projections 6 each form parts of a thread and are arranged offset in the illustrated embodiment by about 120 ° to each other.
  • these projections 6 are on a line
  • Thread turns which, of course, alternatively, there is also the possibility of the projections 6 in the axial direction of the sleeve 4 each offset by one or more threads against each other.
  • the mentioned Figures 4a, 4b and 5 also make it clear that the projections 6 are each in the range of free distances 7, so that the Federfahig- speed of these projections 6 is ensured without hindrance.
  • the projections 6 are oriented and bent in the insertion direction radially from the inside out that a rapid insertion of the male part in the internal thread 5 of the counterpart 3 is possible, the projections 6 fold inward, whereas they in the
  • An end portion 17 of the projection 6 is bent outwardly so that it engages defined in a single thread of the internal thread of the counterpart. Except for the projections 6, no external thread is present.
  • protrusions e.g. rotated by 90 ° (not shown here), serve to realize the nature of further springs a kind of thread lock, so that a block against loosening is given (not shown here).
  • the sleeve 4 is made here in a preferred embodiment in an advantageous manner as a stamped and bent part made of sheet metal, which is particularly inexpensive and easy. When mounting the sheet metal strip this does not have to be closed to the tube, although this is conceivable but it can remain in the assembled state a narrow slit 12. Other designs are also conceivable, such as the production of a pipe section (Fig. 8).
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a blank, which is still flat at first and partly shaped in cylindrical form in FIG. 7, for producing a blank corresponding sleeve 4.
  • the blank is designated in Figures 6 and 7 by the reference numeral 4a.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 clearly show that the respective blank is provided on its upper end edge facing away from the projections 6 with an integrally formed bead 8 within which perforations 9 are located at preferably the same distance.
  • the sleeve 4 is also formed with a bead 8 and the openings 9, which facilitate the attachment of a tool for releasing the sleeve.
  • the sleeve 4 can also be tightened by hand into a secured position or also released again when disassembly becomes necessary.
  • the formed as a punched-bent part sleeve 4 can be formed after completion by connecting its two blank ends 4b as a closed sleeve, it is also possible not to let the two blank ends 4b abut each other completely, so that the sleeve 4 remains axially open (slot 12).
  • the latter is not disadvantageous insofar as the sleeve in the connection state engages anyway in the internal thread 5 of a counterpart 3.
  • Figure 8 shows a variation of a sleeve 4, which is that the sleeve 4 is provided, instead of a bead 8 with a circumferential knurling 10, by means of which the handling of the sleeve when tightening or releasing a connection is facilitated.
  • This variant can e.g. be made from a piece of pipe by forming. It has no axial slot 12. Loosening tools of the same type (attachable like a key) can be attached to the bead as well as to the knurling. A release by hand is also possible.
  • FIGS 4a and 4b and Figure 8 clearly show that the sleeve 4, regardless of its other type at its front end portion, which is associated with the jumps 6 engages in the counterpart 3, which seal 11 is equipped in the mounted state rests against the sleeve 4, as Figure 3 makes clear.
  • the plug part 2 with the sleeve 4 can be inserted in the axial direction easily into the provided with the internal thread counterpart 3. After the axial insertion of the sleeve 4, this can still be slightly twisted in the sense of a screw connection to fix a final mounting position. The connection is released in a conventional manner by unscrewing.
  • Figure 9 shows a schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of the invention, in which the plug part 3 (shown only schematically indicated in sections) is designed according to the industry standard and has an external thread 16, whereas here the socket part is formed with a resilient projection, which is quasi art an internal thread section acts. He springs when sliding the socket part on the plug part to the outside away. In the assembled state, the spring force acts radially inwardly, while it acts according to Fig. 1 to 8 in the connected state to the outside.
